Good day all!
Its just before midnight locally here in Butte, Montana!
Getting here was far from an exciting task but we made it never the less with great stories to tell.. sort of!
The first stop today was at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota! A really great site to see, and the hard work that went into that is astonishing! A great thing to see for anyone that ever gets a chance to do it! There are pictures of it below, along with others from today as well including a stop at a gas station that had sculptures of presidents Kennedy, G. H. W. Bush, and Ronald Reagen!
Following Rushmore, we got back onto I-90 West and headed for Montana. We ended up on Route 212 in Western SD, and it took us into Wyoming. Route 212 is quite a crazy drive. Its a one lane highway with a speed limit of 70MPH. Definitely some nervous moments as I did some high speed passing of 18 Wheel trucks, but nice to go that fast!
We crossed into Montana less than an hour after Wyoming. Most of Montana and all that we saw of Wyoming was nothing but hills apon hills of wheat fields, some cows, and Indian reservation! we made a couple of stops today, but nothing too much! We eventually scaled a bunch of mountainous terrain which kind of sucked. The toughest part of the day was the last 5 hours. It was only supposed to take 3+ hours to finish it off, but we hit a good snow storm on the way through! We had to reduce speed quite a bit, and it really wasnt much fun.
Luckily though, we made it here safely, and we are both exhausted! About to crash now, and get ready to finish this thing off tomorrow! Butte, MT to Seattle, WA!! Should be another 10 hours tops, and well be there. We will also hit the pacific time zone pretty early in the day, depending on the weather in the mountains!
Have a great night all! Enjoy the pictures and Videos below! The videos are from yesterday, however the video from today will be up later.. Shaun was too tired tonight!
Good night now!
